BIM and Groupings #20

Open markpea opened 14 years ago

markpea commented 14 years ago

In the BIM Activity Settings there is a section Common module settings. In most Moodle Activities there's a [Show advanced] button that allows the teacher to select a 'Grouping' and a tick box to allow 'Available to group members only'. This means that a teacher can set two variations on the same task and have it be counted as a single grade entry in the Moodle gradebook. It would be really nice if BIM were to have this 'grouping' capability. If 'Available to group members only' were ticked it would mean that only the groups allocated to the selected grouping would appear in the [Allocate markers] tab.

PS Groupings could be really powerful with a large class size because it would allow collections of groups and mix'n'match of markers with groupings of groups.

Mark, I agree this would be a good feature. It definitely is part of the necessary work to make BIM more "moodle-oriented". At this stage, it may be a fair while before I can put this in place, but it will come.

Brilliant. This is more of a 'nice to have' rather than a 'must have' issue
